ANCHORAGE, Alaska: A highly anticipated summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday yielded no agreement to resolve or pause Moscow’s war in Ukraine, despite both leaders describing the talks in Alaska as productive. During a brief appearance before the media following the nearly three-hour talks, the two leaders said they had made progress on unspecified issues. But they offered no details and took no questions, with the normally loquacious Trump ignoring shouted questions from reporters. “There were many, many points that we agreed on.

Trump said there was a 25 per cent chance that the talks would fail, but added he could stay in Alaska for longer depending on what happens.

Donald Trump will host Vladimir Putin in Alaska - their first meeting in six years -as he tries to secure a Ukraine war ceasefire.
